项目摘要

The fellowship offers a unique opportunity to engage with some of Scotland's largest and most influential heritage organisations on a topic with heightened visibility in public discourse about heritage, but near invisibility in sector's workforce. The recent public engagement with the Black Lives Matter movement has forced many of us to consider race in a more meaningful way. Too often this is side-lined because the discussions are uncomfortable and at times the terminology and expression of related issues is unfamiliar, but it is a reality that cannot be ignored or overlooked any more. If we fail to confront the issues facing us, we will do lasting disservice to the communities in which we live. Serious and problematic questions have been asked about the foundations of the society we live in; the people we choose to commemorate and why; and what we can do. We cannot change the past, but we can change our understanding of the past and what aspects of that past we choose to celebrate, commemorate, or even simply acknowledge. This goes far beyond race as it intersects also with issues of gender and class and asks further uncomfortable questions about what we perceive to be heritage in the Scottish context? Do we prioritise the medieval past, glorying in castles, kings and queens, while ignoring the industrial landscape and heritage of coalmines? Why do we still feel it necessary to remember Henry Dundas with a statue, an individual whose 'gradualist' move towards support for the abolition of slavery enabled his colleagues in the West Indies to shore up their financial position in the face of such change? At what point will the Heritage industry acknowledge fully the legacy of trans-Atlantic slavery in Scotland; or the working-class areas of Scotland that shaped the Industrial Revolution? This fellowship will work from the inside out by engaging with some of the key organisations involved in decision making about heritage in Scotland.

该奖学金提供了一个独特的机会，与苏格兰一些最大和最有影响力的遗产组织就一个主题进行接触，该主题在关于遗产的公共话语中具有更高的知名度，但在部门劳动力中几乎不可见。最近公众对“黑人的命也是命”运动的参与，迫使我们中的许多人以更有意义的方式考虑种族问题。由于讨论令人不舒服，有时有关问题的术语和表达是不熟悉的，因此这往往被搁置一边，但这是一个不能再被忽视或忽视的现实。如果我们不能正视我们所面临的问题，我们将对我们所生活的社区造成持久的伤害。人们对我们所生活的社会的基础提出了严肃而有问题的问题；我们选择纪念的人和原因；以及我们能做什么。我们不能改变过去，但我们可以改变我们对过去的理解，以及我们选择庆祝、纪念甚至只是承认过去的哪些方面。这远远超出了种族范畴，因为它还与性别和阶级问题相交，并提出了进一步令人不安的问题：在苏格兰的背景下，我们认为什么是遗产？我们是否优先考虑中世纪的过去，赞美城堡、国王和王后，而忽视了工业景观和煤矿遗产？为什么我们仍然觉得有必要用一座雕像来纪念亨利·邓达斯，一个支持废除奴隶制的“渐进”行动使他在西印度群岛的同事们在面对这种变化时能够支撑他们的财政状况的人？遗产产业什么时候才能完全承认苏格兰跨大西洋奴隶制的遗产？还是塑造了工业革命的苏格兰工人阶级地区？该奖学金将通过与参与苏格兰遗产决策的一些关键组织合作，从内到外开展工作。
